You are right, its just hand tight untill I can put it together properly with a vise..
Also I can't wait to take it out. With work,family life, and it getting dark at
4pm I am finding it hard to get out lately.
I did take it apart last night and took some pics, so I sould have some pics and part info up soon...
Glad you guys like it..
I have been collecting parts for almost a year now, these are all the pieces in one shot.
The stock is a 10/22 Nordic AR kit, you get the three pieces shown below. Since I don’t really want to know what I paid for this, I am not pulling out the receipts.
Nordic Components is a long time supplier of high quality machine parts to firearms manufacturers. The AR22 Kit coupled with a Ruger 10/22 rifle duplicates the look and feel of an AR-15 rifle with the ammunition costs of a 22 rifle. If you guys bug Fabs for some I am sure he would get some..!
I am using modified 10/22 guts, and a [URL="http:// https://www.dlaskarms.com//product_info.php?products_id=128&osCsid=4bb16926c3009538145f44e3c5d63bea”]Dlask 10 / 22® .920 .22LR 12" Target Barrel[/URL].
The classic handgaurds I found on EE, they are heavy plastic. I used a little plasti-dip on them and it works great for grip and also made them a little more ascetically pleasing.
Next the front sight, this was a pain in the a$$ part.I found a screw on metal one off ebay, most likely made for a higher end paint ball. It is made for a 1" barrel, my barrel is .92" so it was pretty close. I have used strips of aircraft metal tape to make it fit like a glove, then screwed the sight on. I am thinking of drilling a small divit into the barrel where the screw goes.

Haha funny you mention that, my next .22 I wanted to replicate IMO most influential firearm of the 20th century
stay tuned
Do you need to remove the rail every time you want to take the guts out for cleaning?
Yea, I have to pretty much taker down everytime, but I enjoy this part as much as I like shooting it..

OK, I know this is an old thread, but I'm doing the same build and have a Q on the hand guard.
Is there a way to index the delta ring so the handguard aligns properly? When I tighten the D-ring on the SR-22 bbl nut, the circular shaped cut-outs are just a bit too far left or too far right for the HG to be vertically aligned. The HG has little semi-circle nubs that line up with the cut outs on the D-ring, so the positioning of the handguard is finite and limited to the # of notches on the D-ring. Is there supposed to be a lock ring (like on the SR-22 HG) behind the D-ring? Or can I file down those nubs and rely on the spring tension to keep the HG from spinning around?
Thanks fellas.
